Welcome from Seattle!

The 1204 handles 51" media, but has been discontinued and replaced with the 1304 which handles 54" media to be more industry standard. Lots of media distributors (including me) offer 48 and 51" media for the 1204. You have to do some looking, but it's not as uncommon as people think.

The 1304 is awesome. The entire ValueJet line is awesome!

Do you mean 1604? There is no 1504...The 1604 is the 64" model. The ValueJet is a great printer! Easy to run, EXCELLENT quality, easy to maintain...well worth the investment!

Welcome from the Pacific Northwest!

Arlon DPF 304 14 oz Smooth Scrim Banner is VERY nice! Doesn't curl, great white point for awesome color and imaging, very easy to finish. Good stuff!

Reliability, speed, and performance. The VJ will do 4 to 5x more than the PJ can do in all aspects...output, ease-of-use, maintenance, etc, etc. The VJ is such a great printer, it's hard to go wrong with it as long as you have good support to back you up. Good luck!

Welcome from the great Pacific Northwest

It'll print a true 48" wide, but only in uni-directional mode...

Can't wait to hear about your experience! Those printers are stinkin' amazing!

You can get a Mimaki-only version of Wasatch 6.3 for $1,995. Very robust, excellent color management tools, true 16-bit rendering for awesome output. www.wasatch.com

Good explanation Jim! It is a nice approach to allow customers to pick and choose what they want, and like I said, the Flexi portion is intriguing enough. Bottom line, it's about knowledge, support, and dedication. The customer's got to go with what best fits THEIR needs, not the sales rep...

The only difference is this is a package for a ValueJet, not Prism Jet. Big difference in price and performance. I'd take a VJ over a PJ any day.

Again, I think the Flexi Pro add-on makes it compelling, but most dealers (including ME!) would work with a customer on that. It's just the fact that the printer is being shipped bare, that's hard to swallow. Anyhow, it's up to the customer I guess!

Welcome!

OK, now that I've taken some time to read this, it's an "OK" deal, but you might be able to get something similar with a local dealer. Always good to read the fine print instead of just the advertisement. So as it stands, you're receiving the printer ONLY and Flexi Pro for $9,995. In my mind...

Nevermind my previous post, I assumed for that price they were offering a Prism jet, not a ValueJet, but I just went to the website and saw the special. This is a GREAT deal, I'd definitely jump on it! SW must have a surplus of 48" models and are cleaning house. Go for it!

It's a good deal, but if you've got the cash to spend, bump up to a ValueJet. It's faster, cheaper to run, and a lot less headache when it comes to cleaning and maintenance. I think you'd be much more satisfied with it over the Prism Jet. Good luck!
